Reduced short-term thermic effects of a meal in obese adolescent girls
(Springer-Verlag, 1992-11)
Post-meal energy expenditure (TEM) was compared for 14 healthy obese (body fat = 45.3%, body mass index, BMI = 35.9 kg m −2 ) and 9 healthy nonobese (body fat = 20.7010, BMI = 17.8 kg M −2 ) adolescent girls. The test meal ...
The Response of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia to Overdrive Atrial and Ventricular Pacing:
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1993-06)
Effect of sampling site on Doppler-derived right ventricular systolic time intervals
(Elsevier, 1990-04-01)
Hemolysis following coil embolization of a patent ductus arteriosus
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-11)
We describe the development of hemolysis from moderate residual shunting across a patent ductus arteriosus following coil embolization. The fall in hemoglobin levels from 11.6 to 6.0 gm/dl necessitated a second coil procedure ...
Shock-wave thrombus ablation, a new method for noninvasive mechanical thrombolysis
(Elsevier, 1992-11-15)
Successful experimental and clinical experience with thrombus ablation has been attained with high-power acoustic energy delivered in a catheter. The goal of this study was to investigate the feasibility of noninvasive ...
Dilated renal collecting systems:Differentiating obstructive from nonobstructive dilation using duplex doppler ultrasound
(Elsevier, 1991-02)
Two patients with ileal loop urinary diversions, studied with real-time and Doppler sonogphy ("duplex sonography") of the kidneys, were shown to have dilated intrarenal collecting Resistive index measurements calculated ...
A comparison of standard and high-dose regimens for the initiation of amiodarone therapy
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
The effects of two regimens for the initiation of amiodarone therapy were compared in 92 patients with inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) at baseline electrophysiologic testing. Two groups of 46 patients each ...
Quantitative Doppler tissue imaging as a correlate of left ventricular contractility
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-09)
Doppler tissue imaging is a new noninvasive imaging modality that allows quantitation of the low intensity, high amplitude Doppler shifts in the range of myocardial tissue motion. This study was performed to test the ...
Dobutamine stress echocardiography: Prevalence of a nonischemic response in a low-risk population
(Elsevier, 1993-05)
The problems of population referral bias in the calculation of specificity in diagnostic testing for coronary artery disease have been previously described. Previous studies investigating the sensitivity and specificity ...
